Interestingly, I had mine in for a warranty issue fix and they said the module for towing was installed and couldn't see why the OEM towing electrics couldn't be installed. When changing the module it caused the TSA to disable, which surely shouldn't exist on a model which hasn't had to programmed at the factory (I'm guessing here).
I was told it's approx £4000 from my dealer, is that about right, seems a bit steep??
I asked my dealer here and they said the factory hitch would be about $3000 to install. They also quoted their own aftermarket hitch install @ $884 as a better option. I decided to order a new hitch from CAtuned - cost me $305, including shipping - which should be here Friday. I'll have to deal with the wiring harness later. So it seems like the factory option is ridiculous, by a lot, after the fact!
Just remember that CATuned's hitch isn't rated for towing...
What makes you say that? The website states it's for towing. It doesn't look any different from other hitches I've had in the past. I don't really do much so I'm certainly no expert. I only need the capability to tow a light duty trailer (dump runs, etc.) and it appears to be adequate for that application. Is there something I'm missing?
I can accommodate you with hitch and bolts. 375.00 plus freight and tax
Thanks. I can see where this hitch appears to be more robust. What is the thickness of the steel?
Their disclaimer states:
It is comprised of 1/2 mounting plate, with 1/4 gussets. Our hitches are magnafluxed and x-rayed for defects prior to paint. Insured.
Mossy INEOS in Houston, Texas is keeping a couple on the shelf, they are out at the moment, I will be dropping a couple more of them off this week or you can order directly from me.
Thanks Oscar3rd. I'll have to give it some thought.
Thanks anand. I will ponder on this.
Fyi … ours have been tested for the towing capacity of the INEOS Grenadier and then some
. I have 3 of the Grenadiers ( addiction) have 2 of the hitches installed on my own vehicles…they are built exceeding the original equipment specs. Any questions give me a ring. We supply the bolts as well because everyone has had a hard time sourcing them being they are fine thread.

Thank you for the update. Are you using a trailer brake controller as well? Please provide any details you can. Thanks!
I just installed one of Oscar's receivers and they are very well made and easy to install (10 min). Oscar is also very responsive to messages. Would definitely do business with him again!
